question

Good morning ladies! I live in Monroe but see a doctor at Woman's Hosp in BR (long history and story) and I have a question about appointments. Do any of you see an OB there and if so, at what appointment did you see/hear the heartbeat or have your first u/s?

Just curious about your experiences there. I have called my nurse there to ask these questions but am waiting for a return call so I thought I would ask y'all while I wait! TIA

    I see Dr. Cheree at Woman's.  My first u/s (& first appt) was at 8 weeks.  We were able to see the heartbeat then.

    I have to ask...are you planning on delivering at Woman's?  I can only assume you're having a scheduled c/s since there is no fathomable way you will be able to wait till you go into labor if you live 7 hours away.

    I love it there! Monroe is only about 3.5 hours away from BR and we agreed to see him until about 24 weeks then I would make my decision about my next move. He said he would deliver me if I wanted him to but he would require I be much closer 2 weeks prior to my due date or we could discuss an induction date a week before my due date. DH and I are on the fence given my history so we decided to make the decision a little later in my pregnancy.

    I see Sarah Davis at Woman's and we had our 1st appt at 7 weeks and she made us come back at 8 for the U/S where we heard the HB and saw her.  It was her nurses mistake for scheduling our appt before the 8th week.  She wasn't there after our first visit either haha

    Both my middle sister and I see Dr. Sharon Lee and my youngest sister sees Dr. Wendy Holden-Parker at Womans. When my middle sister was pregnant with my niece, Dr. Lee did the heartbeat at 10 weeks, if i remember correctly. I'm at about 6-7 weeks so i figure I'll hear mine around mid-April.

    I see Brown on the 5th floor... I have a 5 year old dd that was a high risk pregnancy. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital after delivering her and your Dr. can make all the difference in the world. I completely understand you driving almost 4 hours. You should check into some of the extended stay hotels in BR also there are some that will give you a great deal if you let them know what's going on. Especially if it's not a busy time for them anyway.

    *Dr. Brown did an ultrasound at 8 weeks and another at 12. He seems to do them more frequently than some of the other OB's.
